Recon Mode

Recon mode runs the device dark. While it is on, every source of LED feedback is suppressed — the boot color, the status colors, and any led* command a script issues. Nothing lights up.

Command

reconMode takes a single token, true or false:

reconMode true       # go dark — suppress all LED output
reconMode false      # restore normal LED behavior

Booting straight into recon

Set the config key always_recon to true and the device enters recon mode at boot, before any script runs:

always_recon = true

Use cases

• In-room operation where any blinking light would draw attention.
• Plant-and-trigger payloads in surveilled spaces — set always_recon so the unit is dark from the moment it is powered.
• Scope stealth per-script by toggling reconMode true at the top and reconMode false at the end.
